· National Hockey LeagueOleksiak and Tolvanen score during third-period rally as Kraken stun reeling Penguins 4-2
Joey Daccord stopped 31 shots and assisted on Chandler Stephenson's short-handed goal. Kaapo Kakko added an empty-netter as Seattle won for just the second time in seven games.
Bryan Rust scored his 17th goal of the season for Pittsburgh. Philip Tomasino added his fifth but the Penguins lost in regulation for the first time this season when leading after two periods thanks to a couple of defensive breakdowns.
Oleksiak took a pass high in the zone and raced down the slot before beating Tristan Jarry from just inside the right circle 8:04 into the third to make it 2-2. Less than a minute later Tolvanen tapped in a centering pass from Shane Wright.
Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin had an assist in his return after missing four games with an upper-body injury.
Penguins: Finished 1-3-1 during a pivotal five-game homestand.
